Orphica Piano KONTAKT GiGA

TEAM MAGNETRiXX | 17 October 2012 | 3.31 GB

The Orphica Piano library offers a very special little piano: Invented by Carl Leopold Rollig, the small portable piano type was exclusively built by piano maker Joseph Donal at the end of the 18th century. Produced for merely about 15 years, the Orphica remains one of the rarest pianos today – worldwide, only 30 instruments have been preserved at the very most. Inventor Rollig was reminded of the ‘Lyre of Orpheus’, so he chose the name accordingly for what happens to be a predecessor of today’s portable keyboard.

The instrument featured in this sample library was built around 1798 and offers a slinky, charming and lively piano tone unlike any regular piano sound – thanks to its small size featuring three octaves, it has a different main focus: Twinkle-toed, yet present with chocolate-like mids and with the typical piano-like grace, it can be great for any piano track asking for a fresh, unconsumed sound. This unique instrument in the collection of Andreas Beurmann still remains in great condition and is fully playable despite its age. It is now available for the first time in a sampler within the Orphica Piano library, presented in its original tuning at 402 Hz (presets in 440 Hz available as well).

Italian Harpsichord II

P2P | Nov 1, 2012 | 1.87 GB

ESX24 / KONTAKT / GiGA / HALiON

Second immaculately conceived Italian Harpsichord library, featuring 8 different samples per note (4 releases per note), of a stunning rare Harpsichord recorded using the highest end channel strip. Some of the best harpsichord sounds on the market.

The instrument
The Italian Harpsichord II library features an instrument built around 1590 by an anonymous maker. Being very typical for the Italian style, the instrument features a housing seperated from the painted cabinet. Furthermore, the instrument – which had been owned by the Australian opera singer Joan Sutherland – sports a special feature: The housing is not bearing directly on the cabinet, but on two ledges below the ribs. This allows for the under-body to resonate. Although the keyboard is showing signs of wear, the harpsichord still remains in fully playable condition despite its age. In this collection it is available for the first time, presented in its original Kirnberger III-tuning at 378 Hz (presets at 440 Hz are available as well).

The samples
Like all harpsichords, the instrument is not touch-sensitive in the sense of a piano. However, even if the differences are minuscule, not any given note will sound exactly the same due to different resonances of body and strings.Until now, many keyboards and samplers represented harpsichords by always triggering off the exact same digital sample, leaving a cold and sterile sounding impression. In order to improve upon previous recreations and to pay tribute to the liveliness and depth of this antique instrument, we captured eight variations of each note.

The release sounds of the keys are also of major importance: What was originally side noise is now often overlooked and even simply left out in artificial simulations, resulting in a very abstract overall picture. Therefore, we recorded four release samples of each note. The sample library consists of nearly 550 single samples. To start right away, presets are available for all common sample formats including HAlion, Kontakt2 and higher, EXS24 and GigaStudio3.

The recording
For the critical task of recording this harpsichord, we employed custom-made Wagner U47 tube microphones in conjunction with Crane Song Flamingo preamps and Universal Audio 2192 digital converters to do the instrument justice. For maximum sound quality, we recorded in 192 khz/24 bits resolution, downsampled to 44.1 khz/24 bits.In addition to the samples, the library contains essays from Professor Andreas E. Beurmann himself, explaining both the historical and musical background of the instrument.
